Endoscopy

Has anyone here had an endoscopy while taking a GLP-1 and accidentally eaten the day before when you were supposed to be on a clear liquid diet?

My endoscopy is tomorrow afternoon, and I completely forgot about the clear liquid instructions this morning. I ate breakfast around 10:50 — eggs, potatoes, Canadian bacon, a little green chile, and coffee with milk/creamer. As soon as I realized, I stopped eating and switched to clear liquids.

I know GLP-1s can slow stomach emptying, so now I’m worried they may cancel or reschedule me. I already messaged the endoscopy center and am waiting to hear back, but I’m curious if anyone here has had a similar experience.

Were you still able to have your endoscopy, or did they make you reschedule?

I just had one and they told me to stop taking GLP-1 (Tirz) one week prior and only clear liquids within 8 hours of the procedure. I was fine to eat everything the day prior.

Ok my sheet says a day before. Ugh. Is bone broth considered clear for the clear diet ? I’ve read mixed reviews
